Digital Exposure by Dreckig

DRECKIG 'DIGITAL EXPOSURE VINYL' (BROKEN CLOVER RECORDS/USA IMPORT)

DRECKIG comes out of Portland, Oregon, USA, and is a longtime husband and wife duo consisting of Papi Fimbres and Shana Lindbeck who have come up with a very interesting and original sounding vinyl record in the shape of Digital Experience. The music is clearly influenced by the European dance/Eurodance/Krautrock/Acid/Synthwave movement that existed roughly between 1978 and 1992. With the use of drum machines, synthesizers, percussion and keyboards, they create a very original synth driven big bombastic 80s (and a bit of late 70s) sound that also features vocals sometimes, which gives it a sorta Latin meets World Music kinda feeling. There is a great vibe going on while listening to the record, as DRECKIG is keen on melodies, and if you like for example ZENOBIA, MAGIC SWORD, HENGE or even ALTIN GUN, you will appreciate this DRECKIG as well. KRAFTWERK is obviously also a close-call to mention as well, and that's when the Krautrock of the 70s influences come around in a song like the fantastic closing track Qo'noS. They sound retro and modern at the same time, with a focus most of the time on that big heavy 80s synth sound that makes them sound really cool (STRANGER THINGS fans be aware!). It's like we have gone back to 1985, yet it still has this refreshing modern vibe and as already mentioned, the vocals capture a World Music kinda approach. All together this DRECKIG's vinyl album Digital Experience is a really great experience that sounds extremely huge on vinyl! The album is available through https://brokencloverrecords.bandcamp.com/ and more information can be found at: https://dreckig.bandcamp.com/album/digital-exposure

Longtime husband and wife duo Papi Fimbres and Shana Lindbeck filter Latin dance rhythms through a portal of krautrock and electronic club music. Layering drum machines, synthesizers, percussion and vocals in Spanish, English and German, they create energetic, dance space music that is equal parts trippy and deeply groovy. -Willamette Week
